Questions
What is a good Flesch Reading Ease score?
60–70 is plain English that most adults read easily. Above 70 is easy; below 50 is hard and suits academic or technical readers. Aim for 60+ for websites, emails and school notices.
How is the Flesch–Kincaid grade calculated?
Grade = 0.39 × (words ÷ sentences) + 11.8 × (syllables ÷ words) − 15.59. A score of 8 means a student in class 8 should understand it.
Are the scores exact?
Syllables are counted with an English rule of thumb, so scores can differ slightly from other tools. The formulas are designed for English text only.
